Dear Friends,

It has been a distinct honor to have served as Board President

for the past three years. Those of us on the Board who are also

CHC (or, as we used to say, “League”) parents know that the true

treasure of CHC is the uniquely dedicated staff. From our industry-

leading audiologists, to our transformative speech-language patholo-

gists, to our compassionate and specially trained mental health

practitioners - all backed up by our one-of-a-kind support staff -

CHC makes a difference, every single day, in the lives of people of

all ages affected by hearing loss, deafness and listening challenges.

Our job, as Officers and Board members, is to lend assistance to the

staff to make sure that their work can continue and grow, and I’m

proud to report that this work - their work - has flourished.

CHC is “firing on all cylinders.” With a new mission statement,

the introduction of tele-therapy in our program offerings, growth

in all of our clinical departments and increased presence in the

community, CHC is adapting to better meet our clients’ needs.

I continue to be excited for CHC’s future. Together, our staff and

Board will work with energy, integrity and fiscal responsibility to

perpetuate CHC’s mission and provide unsurpassed programs and

services for our constituents. As CHC continues its remarkable

evolution, our vision of communication without limits for people

with hearing loss is well on its way to becoming a reality.

Thank you for being a part of the CHC Community.

Barry G. Felder, Esq.President, Board of Directors

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

LEADING THE WAY

The hearing health landscape is ever changing. Last year saw important technological advancements, new distribution channels and changes in FDA regulations.

Look to CHC to lead the way in providing client-centered care that embraces innovation, addresses changing consumer needs and recognizes our responsibility to members of the community most in need.

Page 4: The Center for Hearing and Communicationchchearing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2017-Annual-Report-Fin… · The Center for Hearing and Communication provides high-quality,

In 2017, CHC adopted a new mission

statement, embracing the essence of our

legacy while defining more clearly our

relevant purpose today.

At the core of everything we do are our

high-quality, comprehensive services. We

take a multi-disciplinary approach so that

individuals and families benefit from the

finest client-centered care available. Our

audiologists, speech-language patholo-

gists and psychotherapists work together

to offer a blend of clinical expertise, tech-

nical know-how and individualized com-

passionate care unmatched in the hearing

health industry.

But CHC is not simply a service provider.

We empower individuals affected by

hearing loss, deafness or listening chal-

lenges. We “go beyond the test booth”

and find meaningful solutions to hearing

and communication difficulties that work

in real-life settings. We connect families

struggling to cope with the challenges of

hearing loss with other members of the

community so that they can gain invalu-

able insight and support.

Young and old, hearing loss isolates.

But when people feel empowered, they

are more likely to address their hearing

health challenges, more likely to advocate

for their needs, and more likely to

connect to life®.

NEW MISSION STATEMENT

Laurie Hanin, PhD, CCC-AExecutive Director

The Center for Hearing and Communication provides high-quality, comprehensive services to empower people affected by hearing loss, deafness or listening challenges.

COMPREHENSIVE PEDIATRIC CARE

The number of children under the age

of three in our communication therapy

program continues to rise. That’s an

exciting development that we think

speaks to the experience of our clinicians

and the comprehensive nature of our

services.

Parents are reassured in knowing that

their child’s auditory acuity can be

monitored, their hearing aids repaired,

and their earmolds made at the same

place they come to for weekly individual

and group therapy. In addition, each child

has access to an educational specialist

who can provide direct literacy instruc-

tion and guide the parents through critical

decisions about educational placements.

Parents have also expressed the value

of having an opportunity to interact with

other parents with shared concerns in

raising a child with hearing loss, both in

structured group settings and informally

within the waiting room.

We’re here for parents every step of the

way in their child’s listening, language

and educational development.

Courage, hope, creativity and the

opportunity for change make the Baker

Family Emotional Health and Wellness

Center at CHC a sensitive, compassion-

ate and supportive place to discover

well-being. We strive to establish for

our clients a safe place where past and

present emotional difficulties can heal.

Everyone needs a place to belong. This

is our clinical and person-centered per-

spective when working with clients who

are, all too often, disregarded by others.

We are unique in that we understand

the emotional impact of hearing loss

and offer culturally sensitive psycho-

therapists who are fluent in American

Sign Language. This vital foundation of

shared language and understanding

creates what most of our clients do not

have and have not experienced - an

oasis from the struggle to be emotion-

ally heard, understood and accepted

without judgment.

The Baker Family Emotional Health

and Wellness Center at CHC is the only

mental health service in Manhattan (and

only one of three in the greater NYC

area) providing psychotherapy, family

and group therapy, and psychiatric evalu-

ation and treatment for adults, adoles-

cents and young children.

A PLACE TO BELONG

Page 7: The Center for Hearing and Communicationchchearing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2017-Annual-Report-Fin… · The Center for Hearing and Communication provides high-quality,

Parents of infants and children with hear-

ing loss continually need comprehensive,

up-to-date, and accurate information to

make informed treatment decisions, guide

intervention, and improve quality of life.

Frequently, families are overwhelmed by

a tremendous amount of often-conflicting

information.

CHC’s Family Resource Center (FRC) is

an indispensable source of information

and support to help families manage the

challenges of hearing loss and nurture

their child on the difficult journey to

speech and language.

As a Deaf Education Specialist and FRC

Coordinator, I regularly connect families

at CHC with more experienced parents

and young adults with hearing loss so that

new families struggling with the diagnosis

of deafness gain essential encouragement

and hope. Families form a community of

peers that provides comfort and support

for years to come.

The FRC’s workshops for young school-

children offer opportunities for students

with hearing loss, often isolated in a

mainstream educational setting, to come

together and learn how to advocate for

their communication needs while social-

izing and staying connected with a ready-

made support group.

STATE-OF-THE-ART AUDIOLOGY SERVICESCHC’s Audiology Department expe-

rienced over 10,000 client visits this

year. We provided services to over 2,500

people of all ages, ranging from days-old

infants to centenarians. In an era where

there are so many options available to

the consumer of hearing health care,

what are the factors behind CHC’s

continued success?

First and foremost is CHC’s caring,

knowledgeable, highly qualified staff

of audiologists and hearing instrument

specialists. From the cortical evoked

potentials used to confirm infants’ hear-

ing aid fittings to smartphone-enabled

hearing aid fittings for our teenagers

and adults, CHC audiologists continue to

provide state-of-the-art services using the

latest in cutting-edge technology. We also

provide free weekly demonstrations in

our Devices Center to ensure that people

with hearing loss are safe and can access

sound at home, in school or at the office.

Most importantly, CHC’s audiology staff

is respected and trusted by clients and

their families. This trust factor is the

single differentiating feature that makes

CHC the premier setting for hearing

health care.

ADDRESSING NEEDS OF THE YOUNG AND OLDPrograms at CHC’s Florida office are

transforming lives at both ends of the

age spectrum.

With funding by the Community Founda-

tion of Broward County, H.E.A.R. for

Seniors (Hearing Loss, Education, Ac-

cess, and Resources), provides urgently

needed in-home care to older adults who

have a hearing loss and are either home-

bound or with limited access to trans-

portation. Each client in the program is

visited by an Outreach Specialist and Case

Manager who provides a Senior Needs

Assessment. Hearing and communication

issues are addressed through education,

testing and surveys.

CHC’s after-school programs for children

and teens who are deaf or hard of hear-

ing continue to attract a diverse group

of elementary, middle and high school

students. The programs are designed to

foster learning and provide opportuni-

ties for engagement. The students, many

of whom are at-risk youths, take part in

enriching activities and are exposed to art

and culture, music, science and communi-

ty service. The programs have had a posi-

tive impact on academic achievement and

social and physical development. We’ve

also seen a strengthening in children’s

relationships with adults and peers within

their families, schools and communities.

OUTREACH TO NYC’S AT-RISK SENIORS

Carolyn Stern, Manager, Center for Hearing and Aging

CHC continues to play an important role

as New York’s community leader in com-

bating the epidemic of untreated hearing

loss in seniors.

Through community outreach and public

education, CHC’s Center for Hearing and

Aging (CHA) provides mobile hearing

health care, educational workshops and

supportive counseling to nearly 3,000 se-

niors and hundreds of health care provid-

ers annually. Efforts focus on the need to

increase access to comprehensive hearing

health care and reduce the negative im-

pact of untreated hearing loss in the aging

population.

CHC instituted a new program this past

year, Hearing Health Days, in which New

York City seniors visit our office for a full

day of hearing health workshops and clini-

cal services, including a full audiological

evaluation and assistive devices counsel-

ing. The program is the result of a unique

partnership between CHC and several of

New York’s Naturally Occurring Retire-

ment Communities (NORC). Participating

seniors report being more informed about

issues related to hearing loss and proac-

tively taking steps to pursue treatment

options that improve their communication

ability.

and Aging participates

in a senior health fair

presented by PS-HOPS.

PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE

CHC is grateful to our community of engaged supporters who embrace a vision of communication without limits for all people with hearing loss.

Page 12: The Center for Hearing and Communicationchchearing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2017-Annual-Report-Fin… · The Center for Hearing and Communication provides high-quality,

From infants to elders, CHC is at the

forefront of providing a state-of-the-art

delivery of services for individuals and

families coping with the difficulties of

hearing loss. We take a holistic approach,

customizing our treatment to the unique

circumstances of each person’s hearing

health care needs and challenges. We

are confident that CHC’s clinical, educa-

tional and outreach programs will con-

tinue to grow and embody the best and

most current developments in hearing

health care.

Our community of philanthropic support-

ers is essential to our commitment to

making services available to all regard-

less of ability to pay. Nearly 50% of our

operating revenue each year comes from

private donations from individuals, cor-

porations and foundations. This support

allows us to take the time that is truly

needed to maximize the effectiveness of

each of our programs and services and

promotes a continuum of care at CHC.

On behalf of our clients who are the

true beneficiaries of this support, we

thank you.
